Happy New Year! 2012!!!

At the New Year's Eve Party at Robinson's, we wrote new year's resolutions on paper lanterns and sent them off!  Great idea, Nate!  Jeff and I resolved to eat healthy... dang it!



Soo much fun!  We felt a little like Rapunzel from "Tangled."

Yay 2012!  It's going to be a great year!

Our Kids--We are Blessed!

Lauren is "16, going on 17" and doing everything she can to get it all done!  She is driving, works 20 hours a week, takes several AP and honors classes, is in the Chamber Orchestra, and still goes to YW just about every Wednesday Night.  She is a great daughter and is learning some great life lessons!
Allison is 13 and almost old enough for make-up and school dances!!!  She is a passionate, motivated girl and a great helper :)  I thought it was funny that during the Christmas Season she would always surprise me as she would tell me how many days until braces come off, rather than 'til Christmas!  I believe that day is January 19th! 
We are soo glad to have a boy among these girls--and what a fun guy he is!  Cal is 10 and loves to play with his buddies, thank goodness we have several of those close-by. ( It keeps his testosterone levels where they should be.) He is really turning into a sports head.  He can tell you just about any stat you need to know, and I don't know how he does it--because we don't have cable.  He's also been known to play b-ball, even now while it's winter, until his fingers are numb!!!
Lindsay is 5 and has started Kindergarten this year and I don't know where my baby has gone!  She is getting tall and learning how to read and anything else you put in front of her.  Her favorite thing to do, besides playing with her babies and her friends, is playing on someone's iPhone.  Kids these days!

More Dances!!!


Lauren and Jonah going to Maple Mountain Homecoming 2011.
Lauren and Ethan went to Sadies--"Super Hero" Theme.  Lauren and Ethan were wearing Green Lantern Shirts.
Lauren and Jacob going to Morp--"Rock Star" was their theme.  They had these awesome neon hats for the dance.  They were quickly the envy of all the kids.  Cool. 
There was a large group effort at home to put them all together--I think there were 12 in all -- whew!
